 ==================================================================================================================
 
-There are six sequence types: strings, byte sequences, byte arrays, lists,
-tuples, and range objects. (For other containers see the built-in
-:class:`dict`, :class:`list`, :class:`set`, and :class:`tuple` classes, and the
-:mod:`collections` module.)
